Hon Ndudi Elumelu’s name on the list as the Party’s candidate for Aniocha-Oshimili.
Thus, the former member who represented Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, in the Federal House of Representative, has thus been endorsed by the PDP to contest the general elections as its candidate.

Joan Mrakpor in a keenly contested primary election televised worldwide by a National Television Network from Asaba, said that he gave all the glory to God for the victory, pointing out that the inclusion of his name in the list of victorious candidates cleared by INEC to contest the 2019 general elections, has put paid to the rumour making the rounds that he had been dropped by the PDP.
